initiatives of the Medical Center’s broader research community.
The Department, which has added ten tenure-track faculty members over the past several years, offers outstanding research and graduate training environments. Established research strengths in the department revolve around cell signaling in the context of physiology and disease and includes: calcium signaling, G protein-coupled receptor pharmacology and signaling, ion channel structure/function, and mitochondrial biology. While applicants with research interests in all areas in pharmacology and physiology are encouraged to apply, applicants with research programs that bridge the above department strengths with current institutional strategic initiatives in structural biology, neuroscience, immunotherapeutics, RNA biology, and cancer biology are of particular interest. The successful applicant will receive a highly competitive start-up package, generous laboratory space, and access to a wide range of state-of-the-art core facilities.
The University of Rochester Medical Center, the School of Medicine and Dentistry, and the adjacent Schools of Arts, Sciences and Engineering are part of a private, world-class research university, providing excellent opportunities for highly diverse, cross-disciplinary interactions and collaborations.
